COPYRIGHT LAW:

MINE!!!

Created and presented by: Toni Bowers

WHAT EXACTLY IS THE COPYRIGHT LAW?

-Copyright law is all about balance.

-Copyright laws give creators the right to be

compensated for many uses of their works as well

as the ability to control many uses of their works.

-However, those rights are limited in time and

scope, in order to ensure that the public is able to

access and re-use creative works in new and

interesting ways.

WHERE DID THIS LAW COME FROM??

-Modern copyright dates back to the English Statute of Anne, enacted in the 18th century, which gave authors an exclusive right, for 14 years, to copy and distribute their works. The right could be renewed just once, if the author was still alive when the right expired.

THE COPYRIGHT LAW AND TECHNOLOGY

CREATIVE COMMONS

Creative Commons licenses do not replace copyright, but are based upon it. They replace individual negotiations for specific rights between copyright owner (licensor) and licensee, which are necessary under an "all rights reserved" copyright management, with a "some rights reserved" management employing standardized licenses for re-use cases where no commercial compensation is sought by the copyright owner
